This hotel was wonderful, the service was fantastic for the most part. I say for the most part because I had to wait over 30 minute for a few bottles of water and needed to call twice. Also they don't really know much about technology...I figured out the TV myself and the A/C had a timer set to go off in the middle of the night, I called downstairs, no one came so I figured it out for myself. For a luxury property it would have been nice to have a makeup mirror in the bathroom and a box of tissues ( I bought my own box). One last critic would have been great to have the serve of someone to iron your clothes . We also needed adaptors so we could use our electronics (and my friend with me was from Rio, but still needed one as there was no way to plug in your cell phone charger). One more HUGE thing, the floor in the shower is a bit slippery and there is no handrail, nothing to grab onto, a bit dangerous, no matter what your age and I would have like brighter lightbulbs in the bathroom. On a Positive note (and there were many) Room was clean and bed huge and comfy and quiet at night for sleeping. Double sinks in the bathroom a plus. Everyone was super friendly and breakfast was fantastic. Pool and gardens were lovely, lush and tropical. The ice cream shop Miracolo was a dream, we went for ice cream every afternoon, not to be missed. And the restaurant Pupus was truly exceptional, the service was 5 stars and the food was prenominal. All in all we had a...

Read moreThe value for money was not that great. They do have a hot tub and they do have a nice room, but I expected more. The staff was nice but there was a guy in the kitchen whose mask was constantly on his chin and I saw then take the mask off in the kitchen to chat, so that defies the purpose, doesn't it? They also made a mess of parking, we got one spot then we left for a ride and they gave away our stop to a new client and made us go back and move our car to another parking lot, way more further away from the place. I mean it would have been fine if since the beginning they had told us about it all, it just seemed unorganized. Also, there was no one there most of the time and taking forever to open the gates etc. The room was pretty. The TV had cable and when I called the reception to confirm if we could watch Netflix or something similar, the person was kinda sassy and answered - well you can watch 300 channels that Sky offers. Yes we can, but I don't watch TV and in all honestly Sky sucked. We had like 5 movie channels and they had really poor choices. I mean, if you pay what you pay to stay there, in this day and age, providing Netflix or Prime would not bankrupt you. The location is good, the yard is big and the breakfast is okay. The best was cheese bread and they had these jackfruit cakes on the menu which were amazing. The...
